Me and my shadow...

This week we explore shadows, positive and negative space and our relationship to it all.

We incorporated multimedia this time, using our projector screen to show the children the many shadows people, animals and objects make. We dimmed the ceiling lights and turned on the spot light. With a big white sheet attached to the poles the children were able to form human shadows. Without much direction they created props of their own using their imaginations to act out scenes.

They were also able to make shadow collages with black paper and white forms. They used white chalk and crayons for drawing. Thanks for taking these Lauren!
